These results reflect a global awareness of the University’s activity by many of our academic peers. “The result highlights the strong international connections staff at the University have made over an extended period of time, and is a wonderful endorsement of the significant work our staff are doing to tackle many of the global challenges facing our world today.” The reputation rankings are based on the world’s largest invitation-only survey of academic opinion, featuring more than 10,000 respondents from nearly 150 countries.

Sir Douglas Copland was the Dean and he became the inaugural Sidney Myer Chair of Commerce two years later. One of the inaugural students in the BCom was Miss Harriet Amies the first female BCom graduate, not only of the University of Melbourne, but also in the state of Victoria. Miss Amies – was just 17 when she enrolled in the BCom in 1925 on a Free Place which covered tuition fees but no living allowance. Fast forward 90 years and the Bachelor of Commerce has seen a recordbreaking 1702 new students in the Semester 1, 2015 intake. 44 per cent of those students are international students, and 48 per cent are female. Professor Paul Kofman and Professor Zeger Degraeve are co-Deans of the Faculty, and, like Sir Douglas before him, Professor Kofman is also the Sidney Myer Chair of Commerce. There are over 270 academic staff members in the Faculty and 57,000 alumni in 89 countries across the globe, including some of Australia’s most prominent business and political leaders. From famous comedians to Wall Street executives, the BCom alumni community spans countries, industries, organisations and disciplines. We are immensely proud of our alumni and of the Bachelor of Commerce itself. We would love to hear your stories and what it means to you to be a BCom graduate.

New research and teaching labs – with cutting edge analytical equipment to detect the paints and pigments used by artists and examine drawings underneath paintings – will be housed in the new centre. Associate Professor Robyn Sloggett said the new state-of-the-art facilities would benefit students, museums and collections across Australia and the Asia Pacific region. “In order to train the next generation of art and cultural conservators, we work closely with museums, collectors and communities to restore objects and items where that are often tucked away in collections,” said Assoc Prof Sloggett. “We offer assistance when communities don’t have the resources to protect and conserve damaged items. “The Centre has a very practical industry focus and strong community connections,” said Associate Professor Sloggett “including a long term partnership with the RSL LifeCare ANZAC Village in Narrabeen, and with the Warmun community in Western Australia where we have worked with Elders to save over 600 significant paintings and objects from the community following the flood in 2011.” Founded as an academic centre in 2003, the Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation is Australia’s a leading provider of cultural materials conservation education, offering the Master of Cultural Materials Conservation as well as a PhD program.
